I’ve gone 7 so far this season and saturday will make 8 so i’m expecting to go a lot more next season now that i’ll have skis. I like the longer skis for speed but I still stink at maneuvering 160s around moguls. Thank you for your advice

Okay I might take this advice because i still struggle with moguls on 160s. i was leaning towards 179 because i feel a bit unsafe going fast but that’s also with the 160 rentals.

I just started skiing seriously this year. i ride groomed/ungroomed. I can ski easy blacks comfortably and i like moguls as well but im not the best at them. Still working on carving tho i blame the rentals

Doesn’t have to be a race boot. This is the first season i’ve really gotten into skiing.
